Embodiment
Describe embodiments of the invention in detail below with reference to Fig. 1 to 6.Here, for convenience of explanation, the part identical with relevant technology also introduced.
In Fig. 1, label 20 expression operating rods.Operating rod 20 constitutes by this way, and mutually perpendicular side arm 22 and the following side arm 23 gone up is set, thereby can freely rotate for 21 li at housing.The both ends of last side arm 22 and following side arm 23 are bearing in 21 li of housings respectively pivotly.An end of last side arm 22 and following side arm 23 is connected with 25 with variable resistor 24 respectively.
Along last side arm 22 and following side arm 23 axially extended slotted holes 26 and 27 respectively therein the heart partly locate to open wide.One control lever 28 passes slotted hole 26 and 27.The bottom of control lever 28 forms protruding bulb 28a.And the central upper portion of operating rod 20 bottom 21b partly locates to form a recessed bulb 21a.Protruding bulb 28a is arranged on the recessed bulb 21a, thereby can freely swing.One kob (not shown) is fixed on the upper end of control lever 28.
20 li of the operating rods that so constitutes, when operating operation bar 28, control lever 28 rotates in the recessed bulb 21a as rotating fulcrum, control lever rotates and goes up side arm 22 and following side arm 23 then, thereby the variable resistor 24 and 25 that is connected with following side arm 23 with last side arm 22 is rotated respectively, like this, variable resistor 24 and 25 produces output according to the operation of control lever 28.
In order to make the same neutral position that remains on respectively of side arm 22 and following side arm 23 with above-mentioned relevant example, between a bottom 21b and a ring-shaped bearing piece 29, a disc spring 30 is set, and ring-shaped bearing piece 29 nestle up down side arm 23 following table and.Like this, because disc spring 30 pushes side arm 23 on flexibly, last side arm 22 remains on neutral position respectively with following side arm 23.
In addition, axial region 31 is set on the control lever 28, they are outstanding from the left and right sides of control lever 28 bottoms respectively, shown in Fig. 2 and 4.
Shown in Fig. 2 and 6, following side arm 23 has the sidewall sections 23a that is formed by slotted hole 27.Supporting part 32 is formed at the center position of left and right sides wall part 23a respectively with almost recessed semi-circular shape.Like this, the following of supporting part 32 opens wide at the sidewall sections 23a place of following side arm 23 respectively.In addition, the size of the axial region 31 on the size that supporting part 32 forms and the control lever 28 is corresponding, and like this, axial region can cooperate loosely and is installed in the supporting part.Also have, left and right sides axial region 31 is of different sizes, and each supporting part 32 corresponding with it also is of different sizes.Like this, under left and right sides axial region 31 situation that cooperation is installed below supporting part 32, when if axial region is installed in the lax supporting part in the mode of left and right directions mistake mistakenly, the axial region 31 of control lever 28 can not cooperate respectively and is installed in 32 li of supporting parts.The possibility that like this, does not exist control lever 28 to be fixed with the direction of mistake.
In addition, because being cooperated respectively below the supporting part 32 of correspondence loosely, installs each axial region 31, so this mutual fitting operation can easily carry out.Owing to have supporting part 32, can prevent that axial region 31 from moving up.Like this, supporting part can be used to also prevent that control lever 28 from separating, and axial region 31 cooperations are installed in down 23 li of side arms and rotation.In addition, each axial region 31 is consistent with the axle of last side arm 22 and following side arm 23 respectively.Owing to be arranged on the recessed bulb 21a on the 21b of bottom, can prevent that control lever 28 is pushed down.
Like this, on operating rod 20, provide constraint portions, so that mounting direction is constrained in predetermined direction in order to prevent wrong assembling.For this reason, each several part has structurally carried out various improvement and has been assembled into 21 li of housings, and like this, operating rod successfully constitutes and reaches desirable function.
As mentioned above.Different with relevant example, do not need to utilize down the resilient engagement of side arm 23 to be installed in the axis hole that is formed at down side arm 23 according to the control lever 28 of operating rod 20 of the present invention.Like this, might make down side arm 23 become wall thickness.In addition, following side arm 23 is the size corresponding with the amount of movement of control lever 28 by what cut down on its thickness, that is, have only the part corresponding with slotted hole 27 and be used for installing the supporting part 32 of axial region 31.Like this, following side arm 23 becomes firmer, and its durability also is improved.Therefore, the problem of relevant arm distortion or fracture can prevent the manipulation the bar 20 even user exerts oneself.Can consider provides spherical part to replace axial region 31 in the bottom of control lever 28.Yet like this, if the supporting part corresponding with this spherical part is provided on arm, following side arm will be cut down in large quantities at the thickness at the part place corresponding with this supporting part.As a result, may keep each arm and expectation durability hardly firmly.
